For the Giants, the opening of free agency saw them lose three players. Kawika Mitchell went to the Bills, Reggie Torbor to the Dolphins and Gibril Wilson to the Raiders. The loss of Wilson will hurt the most, but remember he was once a fifth-round pick. GM Jerry Reese proved last year that he is very good drafting players and won’t overpay in the free agent market, so don’t panic the Super Bowl champs will......

With a victory over Seton Hall in their final regular season game at Madison Square Garden, the St. John's Red Storm can still entertain thoughts of returning there for the Big East tournament. Their 58-47 win Tuesday makes it a possibiliy they can earn one of the berths given to the top 12 teams in the 16-team conference.

Ever since St. John's named Norm Roberts their coach, there has been a renewed effort to land local recruits. After a 6-21 record last season, they fired Mike Jarvis, their coach since the 98-99 season who seldom recruited within New York City. Several local high school coaches are happy that St. John's is looking locally again. Coach Oliver Antigua of St. Raymond's in the Bronx said, "We want to be able to help them get......

The once proud St. John's basketball program named Queens-native Norm Roberts to be their new head coach. Roberts, who played college ball at Queens College, went to Springfield Gardens High School, where he played with former-Knick Anthony Mason. The real question is if he can actually get some talent onto the team. It certainly looks like he will try:"It pains me to see guys from New York City wearing other uniforms. It pains me to......
